Commercial Description:
Big Brown Ale aged on palo santo wood from Paraguay. This beer is a 12% abv, highly roasty, and malty brown ale aged on the wood of the Palo Santo tree from Paraguay. Palo Santo means "holy tree" and it's wood has been used in South American wine-making communities. We were lucky enough to get our hands on 20 blocks of the super-dense wood and the wood was added to the ageing tank after fermentation.

Pours an almost opaque black with a cocoa colored head that stays around the rim of the glass. Aroma is chocolate and vanilla, some fruit, some wood. Flavor is roasted malt, roasted wood, some dark fruit, with warming alcohol. The Palo Santo wood is on display here, and it does not disappoint. This tastes like the cousin of a porter. Very interesting and delicious beer.

Looks gorgeous, dark brown (opaque) with a creamy dark tan head. The aroma is very sweet and yummy: chocolate, raisins, vanilla, and a vague woodiness. The flavor does not disappoint: loaded with roast and a good balancing of wood and sweetness. Full creamy palate. A winner.

bottle. small fizzy light brown fully dissapating head into black body. good lacing. aromas of heavy sweet cocoa, light vanilla, wood, and alcohol. flavor is sweet and bitter (actually heavy in flavor and aromas). velvety mouthfeel and long finish duration. good but something different was there (probably the wood).

Bottle: Dark brown w/ a brown head. Shows garnet highlights when held in the light. Sweet malts & alcohol in the aroma & a bit of black licorice joins the show. Flavor has some roasted malt an almost vanilla-like sweetness & a little warming alcohol kick at the end. Finish is roasty dry.
